My father, when first I knew of his doing anything at all, supported my mother and myself by drawing pictures with coloured chalks upon the pavement; I used sometimes to watch him, and marvel at the skill with which he represented fogs, floods, and fires. These three "f's," he would say, were his three best friends, for they were easy to do and brought in halfpence freely.
Young man of good family and connections, going everywhere, yet not merely a man about town, but with a foot in the two big F's. Renouard lounging aimlessly in the room turned round: "And what the devil's that?" he asked faintly. "That's how I call it. There are the three R's at the bottom of the social edifice and the two F's on the top. See?" "Ha! Ha! Excellent! Ha! Ha!"
But in the meantime F's work advances by the inch, only to be set back again and again. We repeated the previous test with just enough added success to give our failure the quality of supreme exasperation. This time there was no question but what the growth sprayed actually withered within twentyfour hours.
For my own part I always spell so, with lots of f's and g's and such like tailey, twirley, loopey things, when my heart is in the tender vein. And I hold that a man who will not do so, now he has been shown how to do it, is, in plain English, neither more nor less than a prig. The advantages of a varied spelling of names are very great.
Watling's hand, warmly, in both of his own. "I have never," he said, with a relapse into the German f's, "I have never had a happier moment in my life, my friend, than when I congratulate you on your success." His voice shook with emotion. "Alas, we shall not see so much of you now." "He'll be on guard, Scherer," said Leonard Dickinson, putting his arm around my chief.
So I shall be much obliged if you will not present my letter at the meeting after all, as I have decided to follow her advice. Priscilla tossed the note to Patty with a groan, and getting out the roll-book, she turned to the F's and reënrolled Kate Ferris. Patty sympathetically watched the process over her shoulder.

I should have said affronted, if I take your meanin'." 'Bias gave a start. "As it happens I er hit on that very word. I remember, because it looked funny to me, spelt with two f's. But I went on to say that I meant honourable, and that she mustn't blame me, because this kind o' thing happened without respect o' persons." Cai sat up, stiff and wondering. He took off his glasses and wiped them.
When she had been a little girl one of the few interesting books in the house had been The Mysteries of Udulpho. She could see the romance now, with its four dumpy volumes, the F's so confusingly like S's, the faded print, and the yellowing page.
By way of making assurance doubly sure I took a short walk this morning in the character of a deaf gentleman, and got Miss Webb to write me a direction that comprised three of the words on these scraps of paper 'left, 'right, and 'lane'; see, they correspond, the peculiar 'f's, 't's, and all. "Now, I felt perfectly sure that Steggles would go for his pay to-day.
